Printing on plastic cards does require a minimum of maintenance, mainly due to the static electricity in the cards, which attracts dust. This can change the printing quality and cause your printer to malfunction.
This is why Evolis offers 3 different kits which enable you to clean the 3 sensitive areas of a plastic card printer:
The print head, using the HeadClean cleaning kit
The card path, using the PrinterClean cleaning kit
The cleaning roll, using the DustClean cleaning kit
Evolis also offers the UltraClean cleaning kit which includes all 3 kits.
